Dear delegates of CNT@Cambridge Symposium 2007,
On behalf of the CNT@Cambridge Organising Committee, I would like to welcome you to today’s mini-symposium.
In Cambridge, carbon nanotube (CNT) related research has been conducted in a number of departments and divisions. Spurred by a considerably large and growing CNT community, this event was initiated in February 2007 aft er the founding of Carbon Nanotube Club – an online discussion group dedicated to CNT researchers and the group has recruited more than 200 members worldwide thus far. Given this backdrop, the CNT@Cambridge symposium was initiated by a group of students who share the same vision – to provide a venue for CNT researchers to exchange ideas and for industry delegates to interact with leading CNT scientists across Europe.
We are very glad that there will be representatives coming from diff erent research institutes to share their views on the science and application of carbon nanotubes at this event. Today’s talks cover a wide range of topics including synthesis, processing, some fascinating properties and applications of CNTs. Besides academic participants, we are also delighted to have support and participation from both scientifi c journals and the industry.
Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude towards our speakers, all the organising committee members and those who have helped and make this event possible. Special thanks go to our sponsors, namely Churchill College, ENSAM, Nanoholdings LLC, AIXTRON and SonicBio for their trust and fi nancial support.
